Once again our plans to ride in the Duddon were thwarted and one of our mates was delayed at work and so it meant we set out later than planned from Eskdale. It was a glorious evening, with only thin high wisps of cloud and warm sunshine. No need to lots of layers in the camelback. We did a new combination of routes by heading up Irton Fell, down through the forest of Miterdale, up that valley and over White Moss past the stone circles, and the great descent into Boot, and back along the valley bridleway. Only downside to the ride were the midges - lots of them! Somehow we didn't seem to be moving fast enough except on the downhills to escape the little buggers!
Ride completed and was followed by a swift pint in the local. Spot on!
11 miles, 2400' ascent
